Tecman Advanced Material Engineers, a unit of the Tecman Group, has signed new distribution arrangements for its anti-thermal propagation (ATP) technology.

The technology is designed to enhance cell life and optimize cell performance while simultaneously increasing the thermal propagation delay to over 20 minutes. 

As the EV market continues to grow, “the time is now right to expand our European presence even further and build more direct relationships both in Germany and the wider EU,” said Kevin Porter, the company’s Managing Director.

The company is now making its framed and encapsulated ATP pads available directly to European companies that integrate the pads into their EV battery packs.

“Framed ATP pads are an advanced thermal cell barrier that incorporates a physical built-in spacer surrounding the thermal insulation pad, providing optimum space between cells and enabling the mechanical properties of the insulation material to absorb cell expansion,” the company said. While framed pads are most suitable for prismatic battery cells, encapsulated ATP pads are designed for pouch and solid-state battery cells.
